Mr. Palmer. No. As a matter of fact, I didn’t see Little Lynn after that. Actually, I knew she was employed sporadically there because of what I assume was slightly neurotic reasons. I didn’t see her for a period of maybe a week before that happened in the club.
Mr. Griffin. Do you have some reason to think that she was a mentally disturbed person?
Mr. Palmer. I was certain of that.
Mr. Griffin. Can you tell us why it is you feel that way, and what do you think her problem was?
I don’t want you to be a psychiatrist, but in lay terms, what was the difficulty?
Mr. Palmer. Well, she was associated with a young gentleman more nearly her age who was eager to have her accumulate wealth. What he did to achieve this, I don’t know. I can only assume.
I believe she thought herself pregnant, or was. I had no proof whether she was or not. I did see her have convulsions and spasms that I had seen before and realized that this was more a nervous condition that often precedes pregnancy, but this seemed to be to me, again, as I say, a little more of an emotional thing rather than a physiological thing.
Mr. Griffin. You didn’t have any indication that she was taking narcotics?
Mr. Palmer. I had none. I have none at the present time. By narcotics, I don’t know what you mean.
Some of the entertainers, the girls have weight problems and often they are on a, I don’t know what the pill is, it is a black thing that doctors prescribe. I have seen several eating them, that I know of them.
